Zakah on End-of-Service Benefits After the Elapse of a Lunar Year

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: A man received his end-of-service benefits and was retired. He has a sum of money, and more than two years have passed over it, approximately. Is zakah due on the money he received if a lunar year has passed over it?

Answer:
This is without a doubt. If he has money and a lunar year has passed over it, you find that zakah is due in it, provided it reaches the nisab and a lunar year has passed over it. You find that zakah is due in it, whether he gathered it from his job benefits, from buying and selling, from a gift, from an inheritance, or otherwise. If a lunar year has passed over it and it reaches the nisab, you find that zakah is due in it. Yes.
